I've heard good things about it. DFI's are reliable boards from what I've heard. Only thing is though, DFI boards have a lot of quirks that make them tricky to set up and get going if you've never worked with them before.

Blizz, this is at least the 4th or 5th thread you have open about picking parts. That motherboard was addressed in at least one of the other threads.

DFI boards are reliable, the lanparty line are built on the budget and for peak performance. if you're a gamer, want complete control on mobo then go with DFI

we dont see much of these boards in canada, if its well knowned in america, then i guess there sould'nt be any problem. tell me how it works when you get it. but since ive never seen these boards here, i still have to stick with my recommendation

I'd pass on that board....That's for the ATI-Crossfire cards and the chipset is outdated...It's a good board for firing it up right out the box...other than that it's not getting the reviews DFI's are known for...

A better bang for the buck would be a DFI Ultra-D or if you plan SLI.Get the board with that option...

Anyone...In the NF4-DFI's With the same cpu, ram and vid card there going to be the same...there all great...you just pick the board that has the options you want...

The UT series is the same as the LanParty without the extras...

What ever board I personally would get may NOT suit your needs 100%...Thats why they offer different options....check your E-tailer and see which options best suit your needs...
For instance...If you buy the SLI-D board and never plan to use SLI well then you could have just bought the Ultra-D and saved some coin...

SLI might be nice but, not neccessary...to use it you'll have to double your video card budget since you'll need 2 to use it... happy shopping
